Crude oil continues fall to hit 4-year low amid oversupply
It has fallen 25% from the mid-June peak; analysts say prices will drop further unless Opec cuts output
London

Oil saw its biggest daily fall in more than three years on Tuesday after the West's energy watchdog slashed its forecasts for world oil demand for this year and 2015.
